Do you personally conduct scientific experiments or blindly follow what you read in science books?
Not all Atheists follow science or believe in evolution. To be published in an accredited scientific journal, you must present an article that has a hypothesis, an outline for the experiment, defined control, results of experiment, conclusion. You must reference other people’s work. It is then submitted to others in the field for accuracy and reliability. This may even involve others performing the experiement. This is peer review. This must occur before the article is published. The bible was put together from thousands of written documents, gathered over 400 years since the birth of Jesus (for the NT), and based on oral traditions for the OT. Many of the documents did not match up, and others were changed to fit what the Council of Nicea were trying to present. The facts weren’t checked, they weren’t referenced to other documents, there was no verifiable accuracy. We can’t repliacte any of the event done in the bible. And they do not make /logicalscientific sense. Similar events only
They’re peer reviewed, for starters. The experiments are also cataloged and replicable. They are also performed objectively, are repeated to ensure consistent results are obtained, and are based off of previous proven knowledge, as opposed to religion and your Bible, which does none of the above. The Bible is at best a literary landmark, not anything that actually holds water nowadays as an answer book besides among fundamentalists. Personally, one of the reasons I don’t perform some of these experiments is because I do not have access to a supercomputer or the extremely complex equipment needed to stabilize conditions and actually make something happen. Try again, but this time put some thought into it.
I have published in a peer-reviewed journal back in my college days and performed actual laboratory experiments in the field of chemical kinetics. I rarely read any science book blindly. Christian doctrine differs from peer-reviewed journals in that scientific experiments can be repeated and results can be obtained. Our results can be tested. I have yet to see testable Christian dogma or doctrines that can be resolved without dying first.
